ROBBIE Gray’s brilliant second half against St Kilda drew the maximum five votes in the Wok in a Box Fans’ MVP Award for Round 18.
Gray had a superb day out, playing one of his best games in the midfield, and was the leading possession-getter for the day with 37 disposals (including 23 in the second half) five tackles, and one goal.
Fans can log onto fansmvp.portadelaidefc.com.au after each game and cast votes for their best three players on the field. These votes are then aggregated to award five votes to the best player for the round, four votes to the player with the second most fan votes, and so on.
The fans awarded Travis Boak four votes after he dominated stoppages throughout the day and helped set up many goals, finishing the game with 29 disposals and six tackles.
After playing forward, midfield and down back Justin Westhoff was awarded three votes, while Chad Wingard (two) and Jake Neade (one) rounded out the votes.
Gray has now extended his lead on the overall leaderboard with 41 votes, but with Boak (36) and Wingard (34) also polling consistently, anyone could still take it out.
